Anyone still want to sack Flanno?

I'd love to start 2016 with a new coach. That means ASADA shambles is finally completely behind us.

One thing I pay Flan for is making the Raiders (and everyone else) think and wait for Barba to run on and make an impact... Later he simply reveals that he knocked his knee at training. Cunning move.

To be fair the first of those three years we were under a cloud as to wether or not we would field a team at all in 2014 - not a very attractive prospect for any good halfback to sign to
Last year he wasn't permitted to recruit and this year he has signed the best available halfback in nsw

I think flanno has many faults but some want to blame him for poltergeists, melted ice cream, the carbon tax and the global financial crisis

Well flanno is on record stating his love for Robson and has had ample time to replace him if he wanted. 2014 is also Flannos fault so using that as a reason for not replacing Robson is slightly hilarious.

Because there is no profit in putting a player offside or publially humiliating him particularly one, for all his faults,is considered the best current option for half back

What did you expect him to say?
Robbo is a lemon and I can't wait to get rid of the little shit?

I mean come on be serious

On Robson.

He was involved in most wins when the Pisser was 5/8.

His other 5/8 partners have been Fa Brown, Jack Bird, Daniel Holdsworth, Chad Townsend, Penani Manumalealii and Wade Graham.

Me think 6 is the bigger problem than 7.

True enough if one accepts there is much difference these days between 6 and 7
I said a month or so back our new sacred cow has feathers

The new sacred cow is only 12, give him a chance.

People were quick to bag Greg bird and simmo, I think jack could be better than both.

Robson has had 150 games of first grade, Bird about 1/10th of that many.

Bird deserves more time & should'nt be compared to his halves partner.

Robson is our halfback & we have to live with it, no better alternative, this year.

I'm happy with what we have lined up next year for the halves but I am not writing bird off as 5/8. Wouldn't surprise me if Maloney ends up as half.

I do think Flanno has been very good in his recruitment since he joined us, his best attribute.

Whoa
I think bird has potential and am not calling for him to be dropped
Not every issue on the paddock is solved by sacking someone
I was merely pointing out that this far bird has escaped criticism and in fact they hype surrounding the guy is probably not helping him

But frenzy is quite correct there are two halves at the moment and better performances from them will be required in the pointy end of the season

There is 2 halves one has played over 100 games the other just over 10, that half with all the experience should be taking pressure off the rookie to play his own game, but Robson take no pressure off anyone

I dont expect him to say anything. Im saying Flanno rates him as a halfback and thats shown in the 3 straight seasons without even remotely looking like being dropped. That flanno thinks robson is good enough is a problem in my eyes.

You would think some people (hello s73!) prefer it when we lose so they can blow up and death ride.

For the first time in years the sharks are playing with a great mix of power and flair.

He does not see that under current coach and says so.

How I see it anyways.

Funny thing Abs, all the players rate Robbo too. He's not the fastest, doesn't have a step, but is solid, reliable and has outstanding defence. his kicking game has improved put of sight and he is getting early ball out to Beale and Val. We don't have any options as there is no one ready nor worthwhile in lower grades. Murphy, I'm told is playing very ordinary for the Jets, look where they are on the table.

Flanno will keep using Robbo, not because he loves him, but just because there is no one else.
